Discussion 1 (Chapter 1): Compare and contrast predictive analytics with prescriptive and descriptive analytics. Use examples.
Note: The first post should be made by Wednesday 11:59 p.m., EST. I am looking to engage actively in the discussion.  Please engage early and often.
Your response should be 250-300 words.  Respond to two postings provided by your classmates.
There must be at least one APA formatted reference (and APA in-text citation) to support the thoughts in the post.  Do not use direct quotes, rather rephrase the author’s words and continue to use in-text citations.
